Description i am very surprised as to how this turned out. Do have to say that i did get a fair bit of help from my drawing teacher, but can say that most of the drawing was done by me

Is as the name suggests a drawing of myself, can't quite use it as a mirror, but am still able to say that it does look like me

Yet again seems like the scanner messed it up, but am sure that you get the idea.

Wow, that's pretty good! I can see the right eye is a little big, and the ear is kinda wonky (unless your ear really looks like that ) But it's awesome, s'pecially since you don't draw portraits much (I assumed this from not seeing many in you gallery)!

This was my first serious attempt at a portrait. Had maby done one before that.

Now that you mention it i think that you are right about the eye, not too sure about the ear though, it looked pretty much correct to me, you got me paranoid now

Glad that you like it though

Teh awesome! Very realistic. I remember the last self-portrait I did (drawing). It was horrible. I was sick, and everyone else had a week but I just had two days so I was never satisfied with the face. But I always do clothes and hair right, so it was okay-ish.

Very realistic, and I like your shading. Mine is big blocks, I don't like to do those gradients of color. Which annoys my drawing teacher. But whatever. I think it's because I'm impatient. Which is weird, cause I'm known to spend a half-hour on one lock of hair.

The eyes are the best, face angle is nice, hat, expression, soft versus hard lines. Vair vair nice.

Oh, just went back and looked again, noticed the eyebrows. Very impressed, it's hard and boring to do individual hairs but yours are great.

This comment is long enough and it is currently 3:10 a.m. exactly so I will get to bed. :>

Keep on being cool.

Well at least your self-portrait had some good bits to it

those eyeborws took like 1-20sec each Wasn't all that hard to do them, just got a 2H, had it nice and sharp and then did light strokes. Noice and easy

You have my drawing teacher to thank for those hard lines, i hae this problem of not putting them in. Need to work on that

thanks for the comment

Dude, that's awesome.

If I did a self portrait, i'd just be a few circles and a squiggly line for hair.

btw, if you want some constructive critiscism, I just noticed that the eye furthest away looks just a little bit big, if that helps? I'm not dissing you though, as you know what I draw like, and this is way better.

if i thought that you was dissing me you would have heard about it already. And yes i do know what your drawing style is like, but that doesn't mean that you can't critique my stuff. I do so on things that i could never do myself, just make sure that i let whoever know that i couldn't do that good.

Thanks for the critique though, not gonna change it, but will try to keep that sort of thing in mind with my next one.

Holy crap. That is really good man. It just looks so realistic.
You need to draw more often. Keep up the good work.

Wow...you did a very nice job!

The hair and ears look very natural, as well as the hat. I like how you did the lines on the chin and neck too, and the shading is definitely not too shabby! Great work, the results are very good.
